Hi. She will get adjusted to serta over time so nothing to worry about. As far as uncontrolled bowel movement are concerned, this needs to be investigated with colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen. This will help to rule out any organic cause. It would be wise to repeat the FT3,FT4 and TSH tests and to adjust the dose of thyronorm ( excess of which can lead to loose motions and anxiety ( overlooked by many Doctors).
